Ingredients

30 mins

2 servings

1teaspoon, crushed garlic
1teaspoon, crushed ginger
2 mediumOnions, chopped
1 mediumcarrot, chopped into small cubes
1/2 mediumGreen pepper, chopped into small cubes
1teaspoon of parsley
1/2teaspoon of tarragon
7cups more or less of beef stock
2tablespoons of butter
3tablespoons of chedder cheese
salt
1/2 cuprisotto rice
5stricky bacon pieces, cut into small pieces

Cooking Instructions

30 mins

1

Fry your chopped onions, green pepper, carrots, garlic and ginger with about 2 teaspoons of cooking oil, for about 2 minutes.
2

Add the bacon with the parsley and the tarragon. Best to use the dry herbs earlier to get all their juices and flavour. If you are using fresh herbs, best to use them almost at the end of your cooking. Cook/fry this for about 3 minutes.
3

Optional: Add salt. But, this is not necessary. I don't like my risotto too salty. I believe the bacon and the stock add enough saltiness to the meal.
4

Add your rice and the butter. Stir for few seconds and pour in the beef stock a little at a time. As you stir, you want to see the rice absorbing the stock. When it drys out, pour more stock and keep stirring. You have to keep stirring and pouring the stock until the risotto cooks. This may take about 25-30 minutes. The risotto should be soft at the centre, but not mushy. When done, remove it from the stove.
5

Add your cheese to the risotto and watch it melt! Yum!

Inspired by the anime Shokugeki no soma. My experiment to make a risotto that works well as a breakfast or brunch dish. If you have any ideas on how to improve the dish, write a review, I would love to get your ideas.

Brad's fried trout w/ lemon caper bernaise sauce & bacon risotto Brad's fried trout w/ lemon caper bernaise sauce & bacon risotto

Well, it is the opening day of trout fishing again. And every year I try to make an amazing trout dish to show people that this fish is not overrated. It is actually a very delectable fish, when treated with respect. This dinner was right on the money. Everyone grumbled about eating trout for dinner, but in the end there was absolutely nothing left and very clean plates. I served this over braised Napa cabbage with a garlic and chive whipped marscapone. And added a bacon garlic parmesan risotto on the side. I hope you enjoy.
